Synopsis

As work begins to rebuild planet Earth after the devastation of the robot invasion, Dare and his friends in Space Fleet remain vigilant, certain that it is only a matter of time before the Mekon launches a fresh attack. When the wreck of the Nautilus - an experimental ship lost over a decade before - appears in orbit of the moon, Dare, Digby and Peabody are sent to investigate. They find the ship and its crew were destroyed by advanced alien weapons. All clues lead them to Saturns moons. With Earth still vulnerable our heroes must journey to an unknown world - to discover who sent the Nautilus back, not realising that for once the source of their latest conflict comes from a lot closer to home. Not all would-be conquerors of planet Earth are alien...

A mysterious ship re-appears loaded with killer drones. One of the scientists, a post-human named Blastco, is suspected and Dare and crew are sent after them in a new ship. When they arrive, they find him up to unspeakable evil.

This story has many strong points. I like how they portray Dare's reaction to festivities a year after the victory over the Mekon. It's believable and one of those things that gives him a depth that you don't see in other heroes this series reminds up. Blastco is a despicable villain, as bad as the Mekon, if not worse in his own way and they really build that up. My only complaint is that given how evil Blastco is, it felt the fight against him was a tad rushed.
